DESCRIPTION
The 300mA CMOS Dual LDO CAT6221 combines in a
single TSOT-23 6-lead package two low dropout
regulators (LDO), each with its own enable pin.
The regulator outputs drive loads up to 300mA. By
design, the dual LDO provides fast response time
during load current and line voltage changes.
Each LDO is optimized for low noise and high
crosstalk isolation. With zero shut down current and a
low quiescent current of 100μA, the dual LDO is ideal
for battery-operated devices with supply voltage from
2.3V to 5.5V.
The dual LDO offers 1% initial accuracy and very low
dropout voltage, typical 210mV at 300mA. Stable
operation is provided with small 1μF ceramic output
capacitors, reducing required board space and
component cost.
Other features include fold-back current limit and
thermal protection.
The dual LDO is available in the tiny 6-lead TSOT-23
package with a maximum height of 0.8mm.

PIN FUNCTION
VIN
is the supply pin for the LDO. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the V
IN
pin and ground near the device. When using longer
connections to the power supply, C
IN
value can be
increased without limit. The operating input voltage
range is from 2.3V to 5.5V.
EN1 & 2
are the enable control logic (active high) for the
regulator outputs.
VOUT1 & 2
are the LDO regulator outputs. A small 1μF
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the
VOUT pins and ground. For better transient response,
its value can be increased to 4.7μF.
The capacitor should be located near the device. For
the TSOT23 6-lead package, a continuous 300mA
output current for both LDOs may turn-on the thermal
protection.

Figure 2. CAT6221 Functional Block Diagram
On each output, a 250Ω internal shutdown switch
discharges the output capacitor in the no-load
condition.
GND
is the ground reference for the LDO. The pin
must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB.

Notes:
(1) Specification for 2.8V output version unless specified otherwise.
(2) Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at
1V differential. During test, the input voltage stays always above the minimum 2.3V.
